FAQ
The letter should state the name, address and contact details of the tenant and the landlord. It should be dated according to any agreement for extension. For example, leases are usually extended or discontinued one or two months before the expiry date.
By definition, a lease renewal is a new lease agreement, whereas a lease extension is a continuation of the original lease agreement. Generally speaking, the practical effect of either is that the parties to the lease continue the landlord-tenant relationship beyond the expiration of the original term of the lease.
We recommend offering your tenant a lease renewal 90 days before the lease expires. You can offer in-person, send via email, or send a letter. The goal is to receive a reply within 30 days so that you have at least 60 days to find a new tenant if your current tenant declines the renewal offer.
Your rights as a tenant when a lessor proposes changes to your lease depend on whether you have an option to renew when the lease expires.That is, a new lease is created, and both parties are legally bound to that agreement. Until both parties sign the new lease, there is only an 'agreement to lease'.
Renewing a lease locks a tenant in so a landlord knows (if all goes to plan) that they will receive rent for a predictable period of time. Likewise, as the PM, it means your revenue is also guaranteed to remain stable because you only get your cut, when the landlord gets their rent!
Ask your landlord in writing (as far in advance as possible) for a few extra days. Explain your difficulties and emphasize (if you can) that they are only temporary. Offer (if at all possible) to pay at least some of the rent on time.
Dear Name of Landlord: This letter is a formal request to renew the lease on the property at the above address for another year. The lease expires on DATE and I would like to renew it until DATE.
Contract extension: an existing contract is continued for a period of time.Contract renewal: an existing contract endsby, for example, expiringand the parties agree to enter into a new contract (usually for the same or very similar services).
Most leasing companies are happy to extend an expiring lease, which can give you some breathing room and time to make the right vehicle choice. Some lenders will allow for a simple month-to-month extension.
